KitchenAid KSM110PS Custom 300-Watt 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, Black Chrome Review

I have practically everything that KitchenAid makes. They are, without a doubt, the most beautiful kitchen appliances you can ever own. I leave them on the counter so they'll be easy to get to, and also because they look so darned good! (Mine are Empire Red.) They are so well made and durable. I will never have to buy another mixer, toaster, blender or food processor again! Did I mention EASY to use? And the mixer is so versatile with all the attachments. You can grate cheese, stuff sausage, make pasta, or knead dough - all with one machine! I highly recommend anything these folks make.

KitchenAid KSM110PS Custom 300-Watt 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, Black Chrome Overview

KitchenAid's stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 300 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough; the 4-1/2-quart bowl can hold up to 8 cups of flour, which translates into as many as 192 sweet treats.

This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solid in construction and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base.

Standing 14 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off.

To complete the package, KitchenAid includes a spiral-bound guide with instructions, mixing tips, and 67 recipes, from crispy waffles to a caramel walnut banana torte. --Betsy Danheim
